Rhombus and kite
Area of a rhombus
The area of a rhombus is found by splitting it into two triangles.
\(Area\,of\,top\,triangle =\frac{1}{2}\times 8.4\times 3=12.6cm^{2}\)
\(Area\,of\,rhombus =2\times 12.6=25.2cm^{2}\)
Area of a kite
The area of a kite is found in the same way as a rhombus, that is by splitting it into two triangles.
\(Area\,of\,top\,triangle =\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 1.1=4.4cm^{2}\)
\(Area\,of\,kite=2\times 4.4=8.8cm^{2}\)
